In an incredible and history-making achievement, acclaimed director Ryan Coogler has officially cemented his name among Hollywood’s elite. His latest film, Sinners, has crossed the $100 million mark at the domestic box office in just 9 days, pulling in an impressive $122.5 million. With this milestone, Coogler becomes the first Black director ever to have four films gross over $100 million domestically.
Joining Sinners in this prestigious club are his previous box office triumphs: Black Panther, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and Creed. Each film not only showcased Coogler’s brilliant storytelling but also his ability to deeply connect with audiences across the world.
What makes this achievement even more special is that Sinners is an original film — not part of an established franchise — further highlighting Coogler’s creativity and influence in the industry. His ability to craft compelling narratives, whether in superhero epics or grounded character dramas, has solidified his reputation as a generational talent.
Coogler now finds himself in rare company alongside other powerhouse directors like F. Gary Gray, Jordan Peele, and Tim Story — all of whom have at least three films that crossed the $100 million mark domestically. But with Sinners, Coogler pushes the boundaries even further, setting a new standard for Black filmmakers in Hollywood.
From Fruitvale Station to the global phenomenon that was Black Panther, Ryan Coogler’s rise has been nothing short of inspiring. His films not only entertain but also challenge societal norms, uplift marginalized voices, and celebrate Black excellence.
With Sinners’ success, Coogler isn't just adding another accolade to his résumé — he's paving the way for future generations of filmmakers to dream bigger and aim higher.
As history is written, Ryan Coogler stands tall as a true Box Office King, and his best work might still be ahead of him.
